Yorkton $15,605 Pat Thompson, President of the Canora branch, said the $5,000 in grant money was much needed and appreciated. “When news of this first came out it was a sigh of relief for many area Legions that were struggling financially, ours included,” said Thompson. “The money will be for operational needs. It will be used to pay monthly utilities and bills to keep the Legion open. Also the money will go to repairs that are needed at the Legion Dugout and contingency for any unforeseen issues that should arise.” Thompson said the history of the Canora branch goes back to before the Great Depression.
